How to add an address book field into a Numbers spreadsheet? more

It is annoying.
One more time a thread archived to be searched in the database contains an odd response.
In: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1290285&tstart=0
the last message states:
There is no answer to this problem other than this feature is not available (yet) for Numbers.
Which is perfectly wrong.
Reading the page 178 of the PDF Users guide, everybody may check that we may easily build this kind of table:

My long practice of Apple make me think that this guess doesn't match the reality.
In fact I know the process.
The original poster is informed that the thread is selected to enter the database.
He is also informed that he may post a late message before the thread is really closed.
In some cases, the OP posted an odd message and the moderators don't take care of that.
It's annoying but I hope that they will do the needed cleaning.
I reported my original message to ask them to look at the thread.

How to add an address book field into a Numbers spreadsheet?

In Pages, I can add an address book field so I can drag & drop a contact from my address book into the actual document without having to type out the address, city, state, zip etc.
Is this possible in Numbers? I use spreadsheets to create invoices and I really miss the drag and drop features that I have gotten used to in Pages.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello,
It seems that all the same Functions are available for calculations in a table within Pages as in Numbers. Perhaps you could keep working in Pages and do your invoice calculations there.
Highlight the table cell into which you want to place a calculation and select Insert - Function from the Command Menu.

If this still doesn't help then you could contact Sun to get help from Sun Professional Services. Writing a custom Convergence application is far from trivial.

How to move old address book (XP) into new computer (8.1) as the existing default address book.

I have exported the address book in LDIF format and have also found the abook.mab file in my old XP computer. My new W8.1 address book is totally empty. I don't know where to find the Profile folder on W8.1 and when I import the LDIF it creates a new address book folder which I don't want. I just want everything in the default address book.

Open the newly created address book. Click on one contact to select it. Hit control+a to select them all. Drag and drop them on the personal Address Book folder to move them there.

How to import Windows address book (.wab) into e71...

How do I import email address from my Windows Mail (or Outlook Express) into my Nokia e71?
I can save the addresses as .csv or .wab file, but what next?
Please note I am not trying to build my phone contact book. I already have all names and phone numbers in there. I need to import email addres from my PC email client (Windows Mail) into my Nokia email client (either the one inbuilt into e71 or the new email messaging that I downloaded from email.nokia.com).
Thanks.

Me too (but 5800).
What's really annoying me is that I managed it when I got the phone but have since had to reset the phone, lost all contacts and now can't get them back.

How to add a file as an object in Numbers spreadsheet

In MS Excel one can add any file namely doc, xls, PDF as an object in a spreadsheet......how can we do that in MAC Numbers

Hi Niranjan,
In Numbers for Mac,
Menu > Insert > Choose...
Navigate to the file that you want to insert.
You can insert screen shots, PDF documents and photographs. They will become pics (with restricted editing features).
I can't see a way to insert a doc, xls, Numbers, Pages or any other file type.
You can Copy from within a document and Paste into Numbers.
What are you trying to do?

Mail: when there is a list of email addresses how do i add to address book?

Hello, ... When i get an incoming email from a person and it is cc'ed to a whole list of people (separate email addresses) --> how do i put all those listed email addresses into my address book/ contact list?
For example, when i get an email from my kid's hockey coach and i want to contact every other parent that is listed on that cc list, ... how do i easily add all those on that list?

Right-click on each desired (separate) contact, and select "Add to Address Book."
Then make a calendar Group, name it Hockey, and individually drag those new contacts to the Soccer Group.

Unless your carrier doesn't have the required SIM card size, you can get a new SIM card from your carrier. There is usually no charge for this.
If you don't have an Apple iCloud account or if you do being accessed on the iPhone with contacts turned off for over the air syncing, you should be able to transfer contacts from the Address Book app on your Mac via the iTunes sync process. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.
If you have an iCloud account, you can sync contacts over the air with the Address Book on your Mac. After confirming your contacts are available with your iCloud online address book - checked by logging in with your iCloud account using a browser on your Mac, you can then turn Contacts on for over the air syncing with your iCloud account settings on your iPhone and your contacts will then be available there and kept synced automatically over the air between your iPhone address book, your iCloud online address book, and the Address Book on your Mac without having to sync with iTunes for this.

How do I add an Address Book Server account to iPhone 3G iOS 3.1.3

Heya,
I have an iPhone 3G that is running version 3.1.3 of the iPhone OS and I need to add an Address Book Server account (that is being run on Snow Leopard Server to the phone but the only option I have is LDAP. My understanding is that Address Book Server uses CardDAV not LDAP. So I went ahead and added the account by choosing "Settings" -> "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" -> "Add Account..." ->"Other" -> "Contacts - Add LDAP Account" and entered my servers information. After selecting "Next" it prompts me with the following message:
"Cannot Connect Using SSL - Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL?"
I choose "Continue" -> the message disappears and I choose "Save" -> then I'm prompted with this message:
"This account may not be able to search contacts. Are you sure you want to save?"
I choose "Save" and it appears to add it. To verify I exit "Settings" and go to "Address Book" and none of my contacts appear. I even let it sit for an hour on a WiFi connection without any luck. Can someone help?
Thanks!

Haha, I asked for that.
I get the error "Unable to verify account information" whenever I try and add the account (note I've hidden my email address in the picture)

How to merge address book fields

Okay, here goes...
I have created a template page in Pages so that I can print out some laser address labels and utilise the merge address book fields to speed up the process, but I have hit a problem.
The template that I have created has 21 text boxes with address fields applied, so I thought I would end up with 21 different addresses on one page.
Wrong! I have ended up with hundreds of pages with 21 of the same address per page, when really I want there to be 21 different addresses per page.
What am I doing wrong here? Can Pages handle this kind of thing as I know that it works perfectly for letters where you would only have one address per page.
Please help
Regards
jim

This is the normal behavior
It's perfectly described in the Help which states:
Inserting Recipient Data for Contacts in Multiple Cards
You can personalize a document for multiple recipients by using multiple Address Book cards.
To insert recipient data for contacts in multiple cards:
Open a document that contains recipient fields.
Select the Address Book cards you want to use, and then drag them to a recipient field.
In the dialog that appears, choose New Document from the pop-up menu to create a new document that contains a section for each contact. Otherwise, choose “Send to printer” from the pop-up menu _to print a personalized copy of the document for each contact._
What am I doing wrong here? Can Pages handle this kind of thing as I know that it works perfectly for letters where you would only have one address per page.
You just didn't read sufficiently carefully the Help.
Pages is not designed to do what you want.

How to Merge 2 Address Books

Hi folks. Just wanted to know if anybody knew how to merge 2 address books. I don't mean two identical or similar contacts. Whole address books.
A duplicated, put into B machine. They both took on separate lives.
This is what I am thinking:
- A backed up.
- B exported.
- B imported into A, conflicts resolved (that could take some time, if it's manual, as my book has 1600 cards)
- A (which is new), exported, put back into B.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Well, unfortunately, Address Book doesn't have a function to compare then only merge identical cards. Its four import options are Keep Old, Keep New, Keep Both, and Update. The Update option is closest to what you want, but it will assume that contacts with similar fields (like the John Q Public example I gave earlier) are the same person and will combine them into one (I found this out the hard way).
Your best bet I think would be to export All Contacts for each Address Book as a single vcard (this is the only format that Address Book natively exports), open in a spreadsheet/database program that can compare and merge identical fields, and do the combine there. Address Book can import .csv files, so something like Excel or Araxis Merge (➚) might be able to do it (I don't know if Excel's Merge Workbooks function is applicable in this case).
Perhaps other people have suggestions on how to only combine identical cards. I don't know programming, so AppleScript and Terminal puts me out of my depth. For what you want to do, Address Book's import/export functions are insufficient by themselves.
